In this chapter italics AND bold are the camera feed.

I still do not own Danny Phantom.

Maddie was sitting at the kitchen table, working on some research.

Okay, x=876 meaning y=4680, therefore—she thought.

The door opened up. Jazz and Danny walked in.

Maddie gasped. Danny's hair was even messier than usual, his nose was bleeding, and he was limping. He looked like he got run over by a truck.

"Danny!"

The siblings jumped and looked at their mother.

"What happened?" Maddie asked.

Danny glanced away, eyes flashing green. "I… tripped down some stairs."

Jazz helped him stay standing. "I'm going to bandage him up."

Maddie watched as her youngest child and red-haired daughter slowly made their way upstairs. She bit her lip. Should she follow them?

Her question was answered with a knock on the door. She ran to get it.

A small raven-haired girl with blue eyes stood there. She smiled. "Hi. I'm Danielle. You must be Mrs. Fenton. Is Danny home?"

Maddie was shocked at how much the little girl looked like Danny. "Uh, yes. He just got home."

Danielle smiled. "Can I see him? I'm a friend."

Jazz walked by then, getting something for Danny. She paused when she saw Dani. "Hey, Dani," she said grinning. "What's up?"

Dani grinned and waved. "Hey, Jazz. I just came to see Danny."

Jazz walked over. "Mom, can Dani come in?"

Maddie nodded and watched as Jazz and Dani walked upstairs. She started towards the kitchen. She was thinking about finishing her calculations but for some reason kept walking down to the lab and in front of the computer. The same thing made her watch the live feed from the camera.

Dani entered the bedroom with Jazz. Danny was sitting on the bed.

"Hey, Jazz! Hey, Dani!" Danny greeted. "Did you get the bandages, Jazz?"

Jazz groaned. "Be right back." She turned and left the room.

Dani walked up and sat on Danny's lap. "Wow, cuz, who did this to you?"

Cuz?

Danny ruffled her hair. "Your dad."

Dani's dad beat up Danny?!

Dani growled. "Plasmius! I'm gonna kill him." She paused. "Technically half-kill him. But you get what I mean." She paused again. "And he's not my dad! He's my… creator, I guess?"

Creator?

Danny looked like he was deep in thought. "Yeah. Creator's right, I think. Wait, then what would my relationship be with you?"

"Base, original, first?" Dani asked. "I dunno. You're a C student! How should we know?"

Danny laughed. "You're right. I mean, how should we know? We have the same exact knowledge with you being my—"

Jazz burst into the room then. "Danny! I found the bandages!" She held up a blue cream in a bottle made of ice. "And some cream that speeds up your healing rate faster than normal."

Dani grinned and got up. "You two seem to have this covered." She walked up to the window, opened it, and stood on the window sill. "Now if you excuse me, I'll be beating my dear creator to an ectoplasmic pulp." Saluting the two kids, Dani took a step off the window. A bright white flash lit up when she was out of view.

Maddie gasped. Was Dani dead? Should she look for a corpse?

The Dani Phantom girl from the previous night flew up to the window. "Look Danny! No melty ectoplasm!"

Danny grinned and laughed along with the ghost.

"Now, if you excuse me, I will be half-killing my creator," Dani said, grinning. She waved and flew out into the night.

Maddie turned off the feed and was about to go upstairs when she froze.

The girl Danielle had said she was going to half-kill her creator.

So why did ghost Dani say the same thing?

Was it possible that some ghosts were… human?

She paused. If, and only if, humans could have ghost powers, they should have a ghost form. But how could humans have ghost powers?
